Ryan Ruckman is psyched to be back in the black box at UNLV. Having spent three years’ worth of long days and late nights as a grad student, he has a deep love of this unique space and is so thrilled to be back working on Passage. Many thanks to Ann-Marie, Joe, and Kirsten for the opportunity to be part of this project, and to the cast, crew, and the lovely team of artists for their time, talents, and professionalism. Love and thanks, as well, to both the APf and NCT teams for making this such a successful collaboration. “All my love to Betsy, Rhett, Lucy, and Wylie for allowing me to be away from home and for always being there when I get back. I love you. So, so much. Enjoy the show, and please go see more theatre.”
